| Sumario: | This essay seeks to reflect on possible ways to other means of thinking about communication as a social phenomenon, that is, what is communication and what are the references to understand it. Considering that it’s a field of study oriented by the paradigms of the western social sciences, an approach is proposed taking as a reference the peripheries and limits of contemporary communicational thinking, especially from Latin America. For this purpose, we anchor ourselves in the critical gaze raised by the Modernity/Coloniality network and the Decolonial Turn that, as a result of the postcolonial debates and with the inheritance of Latin American critical thought of the 20th century, have launched a movement of resistance - theoretical and political, as well as practical and epistemological - of deconstruction the paradigms of modernity/coloniality. Therefore, we seek from communication to point out ways for reflection based on a theoretical/conceptual review and from articulation with existing counter-hegemonic proposals, both in the history of Latin American communicational thought and in recent debates on the field in this region. |
